NEXT-100 serves as a proof of concept for a future ton-scale detector. By hunting for an event that may occur once in 10²⁸ years, physicists aim to understand the cosmic origin of matter. mappingignorance.org/2026/04/09/listening-for...
Dark matter haloes may have a well-defined finite size after all. The STRAWBERRY algorithm offers a physically motivated boundary based on gravitational trapping, potentially refining models of galaxy formation and cosmology. https://mappingignorance.org/2026/04/02/strawberry/
Using a high-pressure xenon time projection chamber, NEXT-100 measures both energy and track shape with high precision to detect an extremely rare nuclear decay. mappingignorance.org/2026/04/09/listening-for...
Unlike traditional density-based definitions, the STRAWBERRY approach identifies dark matter haloes by particle energy and dynamics. Results show haloes consist of a bound inner core and an outer splashback population. https://mappingignorance.org/2026/04/02/strawberry/
Deep beneath the Pyrenees, the NEXT-100 detector has begun searching for neutrinoless double beta decay in xenon-136. This rare process could help explain why matter exists. mappingignorance.org/2026/04/09/listening-for...
STRAWBERRY, a method to define dark matter haloes using the gravitational potential. It distinguishes truly bound particles from those merely passing through, revealing a sharp boundary for the stable halo core. https://mappingignorance.org/2026/04/02/strawberry/

Scientists have tracked how the brain builds up to every decision, whether driven by preference or necessity. The findings suggest a common neural pathway, challenging simple ideas of free will. mappingignorance.org/2026/04/08/are-we-ever-t...
Are our decisions ever truly free? Research shows the brain uses a similar "evidence accumulation" mechanism for choices we want and those we must make. mappingignorance.org/2026/04/08/are-we-ever-t...
A new brain study reveals that both free choices and forced decisions follow the same universal process: evidence slowly builds in the brain until a decision is made. This raises fresh questions about human freedom. mappingignorance.org/2026/04/08/are-we-ever-t...

Researchers from the University of Gothenburg found that fire seasons could lengthen by 23% and burned areas increase by 9% under moderate warming. This threatens thousands of plants, animals and fungi. mappingignorance.org/2026/04/07/longer-wildfi...
One view attributes it to innate mating strategies; the other sees it as a means to uphold masculine workplace dominance. Rigorous comparison finds the gender hierarchy explanation superior. mappingignorance.org/2026/04/01/sexual-harass...

Recent scientific analysis compares two explanations for workplace sexual harassment by men: evolved sexual tendencies versus maintaining gender hierarchies. Evidence shows the latter provides a stronger, more comprehensive account. mappingignorance.org/2026/04/01/sexual-harass...

Limiting emissions could reduce the rise in wildfire risk to species by over 60%. The study highlights the need to factor climate-driven wildfires into conservation strategies. mappingignorance.org/2026/04/07/longer-wildfi...

Wildfires are becoming more frequent and severe due to global warming. A new study warns that nearly 84% of wildfire-vulnerable species face higher risk by 2100. mappingignorance.org/2026/04/07/longer-wildfi...
